- It seems to be still a topic of unfail-
ing interest, l may perhaps be excused
Tor sketching very briefly its principal
features.
Napoleon's plan was to separate the
English and Prussian armies. which
were IN their environments In Belgium.
and beat them in detail. What specially
induced him to form this plan was that
the communications of these armies
were in precisely opposite directions
those OF the English being to the west,
IN the direction OF the sea, and those
Of the Prussians to the east, in the di.
rection of the Rhiuo. The case, there
fore, was wholly different from what i.
would have been had the force opposed
to him consisted of only one army, under
one control. having but one base OF
supplies. 1t was much more favorable
to him. For, if he could beat either OF
these armies SO completely as to force
1T to fall back upon its base, he would
separate it completely from its ally.
There were, OF course, other plan,
which he might have adopted-for In
stance. that which tho Duke of Wei
lington expected he would adopt
namely, to attempt to turn the Englisl
right, and cut them off from their has,

to separate, if possible, the two armie,
was the one on which he determined
to act.-John c. Ropes, in Soribne,'s

Previous TO the invention Of gummed
envelopes and extending back to remote
antiquity seals were used in the closing
Of letters, packets, etc Various adj
hesive materials were used among them
being pitch, wax and flour waters.
Among the ancients ring seals were used
not only for scaling letters, but also, as
small locks were not common, for seal
ing caskets and chests that contained
valuable objects; and they were even
employed for sealing tho doors Of houses
and apartments. Finally pummed en-
yelopcs gradually began to replace seal
ing wax and waters nearly everywhere.
The first envelopes, which were manu-.
featured in England, date back 20 1910.
The machine for folding them was in
vented in 1913 by Mcssrs. Edwia Hill
and Warren de In Rne. and in 1910 was
90 improved by the latter that IL was
capable of folding and cumming 1900

greatly increasing, and there are now

But all signs fail in dry weather and

Garibaldi's Hercureau strength.

After Gordon Garibaldi was my most

ceps, OF shoulder muscles, he had. They
were Just like two half cocoanuts sticking

have made two of theirs. And the saber
he used! Two of the Life guards blades
forged into one would have just made it.
Many u time have seen that awful saber
sweeping right, left, right, 'left, like clock
work, as he moved down the enemy like
grass, seated on his old white charger,
leaving "a lane' that is the only word)
for us who followed him closely. "Avanti!
Avantir' rang from his lips all the while,
and his trumpet voice rose high above the
loudest artillery fire. His strength was
simply hcrculean, and was only surpassed
by Gen. Dunno,
As an instance of Garibaldi's enormous
strength, / remember late one night leav.

pay Of Francis Ii. He was going to visit
one of his dying soldiers, boy of seven-
teen. We had not long to wait. Like
lightning two men sprang at him, right
and left, simultaneously, knife in hand.
Ere their blades, raised to strike, could
fall, Garibaldi had each one by the threat,
raised high in air to the full extent Of his
arms. lie then knocked them together

Medicine as ~ Real Science.

Since medicine became q real science
the tendency has been more to dispense,
as far as possible, with in,liscriminate
dosing. The first manifestation of this
was the homeopathic system. Now the
best doctors give very little medicine, aid
there is II disposition to dispense with it
altogether. The. modern tendency. is
clearly in the direction of curing diseases,
particularly those Of nervous character,
wholly without drugging, and hence we
have the faith treatment and similar
vagarics, These may be false and absurd,
but they illustrate the growing conclusion
that nature can, almost I'm the majority of
cases, be left safely to herself. With good
nursing and some obvious and simple aids
she will do what Is necessary of her own
free will. 1t is found that the majority
Of people who.lic mt an advanced age were

could have been detected in those days at
a glance. His natty boots, his shining
hat, yellow gloves, tight fitting clothes,
SYaggcr, assurance and carriage stamped
him everywhere. He staggered into bar
rooms with an air of an underlined prince
of the blood, and talked stocks in public
places unfortunately. Everybody called him
Charley, Jimmy, Harry or Tommy, and
nothing pleased him more than to have his
name associated in ever SO slight u way
with that of woman of the burlesque
stage. lie was on the whole nervy, reck-
less and generous to fault, and often
bold and courageous gambler, but there is
no doubt he was a tremendous nuisance
about town, and outside of Wall street he
was the subject of criticism the import OF
which he never suspected.
III those days they all made moneyso OH

slaughtered and the fools had not grow:
wise. They thought that their gold mine
would last forever, hendc the rush and
scramble to sec who could spend the most

Of Wall street man has almost entirely
disappeared and Kew York congratulates
itself accordingly. The brokers are now
in most instances quiet and undcmonstra-
